I am so cross, my daughter had some friends round yesterday and went into town last night. No problems there then, except one of the girls left her bags here over night. I didn't realise they were somebody elses so went to put them away thinking they were my daughters. Inside was a half drank bottle of Sothern Comfort. I was absolutely livid, the girls are 16!!!! My daughter told me who it belonged to and I have just spoken to her father about it who seemed to think it was ok and couldn't see why I was so cross. I tried to explain to him that while children are in my house I am responsible for them and under no circumstances would I allow under age drinking especially of the 40% volume kind to take place in my home. Another girl had some cans of beer and was drinking them on the way into town. My daughter is now in tears as she thinks her "friends" will take my actions (of ringing parents to inform them) out on her and not want anything to do with her now. HELLO! should it be her not having anything to do with them, or am I just an old dinosaur who is not up with the times. I have made it clear before that I will not have underage drinking going on in my home and my kids are cool with that, but other peoples don't give a t*ss and when their parents think I'm an old stuffed shirt what am I supposed to do. What ever happend to standards and right and wrong. Sorry for the rant but I wish parents would accept resposibility for their children and not just leave things till the sh*t hits the fan when it goes wrong. There is a reason why the age limit on blooze is 18 but is it only me who understands this. GRRRRRR
I need a hug please, I feel so upset,I feel I have been made to feel I am in the wrong about what goes on in my own home. Do you think I should not let these people back into my home or just make it clear about rules. It is so worrying with your own children, you try and give them a bit of freedom and a chance to show you they can behave in a sociable way and then something like this happens and I get so scarred for them and who they are mixing with. What can I do.
